It was late last night when the boss come home,
        E5       E5
asking about his lady
                E5      E5
The only answer that he got was,
      A5                   E5
she's gone with the Gypsy Davey,
A5                   E5
gone with the Gypsy Dave

   E5               E5       E5
Go saddle me up my buckskin home,
               E5     E5
and my hundred dollar saddle
                      E5    E5
Point out to me their wagon tracks,
    A5               E5           A5               E5
and after them I'll travel, and after them I'll ride

        E5                      E5       E5
Well, I had not rode 'till the midnight moon,
            E5       E5
I saw their campfire gleaming
                         E5    E5
I heard the notes of the big guitar,
        A5                    E5
and the voice of the Gypsies singing,
     A5                 E5
that song of the Gypsy Dave

       E5                         E5      E5
It was there in the light of the camping fire,
          E5        E5
I saw her fair face beaming
                         E5     E5
Her heart in tune to the big guitar,
        A5                   E5
and the song of the gypsies singing,
     A5                 E5
that song of the Gypsy Dave

E5                      E5        E5
Have you forsaken your house and home?
                       E5 E5
Have you forsaken your baby?
                       E5      E5
Have you forsaken your husband dear?
   A5                 E5
To go with the Gypsy Davey
    A5                   E5
And sing with the Gypsy Davey
     A5                 E5
that song of the Gypsy Dave?

     E5                E5      E5
Yes, I've forsaken my husband dear,
               E5    E5
to go with the Gypsy Davey
                     E5      E5
And I've forsaken my mansion high,
    A5                E5
but not my blue eyed baby,
A5                E5
not my blue eyed babe

    E5                   E5      E5
She smiled to leave her husband dear,
               E5    E5
to go with the Gypsy Davey
                               E5       E5
But the tears come a-trickling down her cheeks,
   A5                         E5
to think about her blue eyed baby,
   A5                         E5
to think about her blue eyed babe

E5                       E5       E5
Take off take off those buckskin gloves,
        E5      E5
made of Spanish leather
                     E5         E5
Come give to me your lily-white hand,
    A5                 E5
and we'll ride home together,
    A5                E5
and home again we'll ride

      E5                 E5       E5
No, I won't take off my buckskin gloves,
        E5      E5
made of Spanish leather
                    E5     E5
I'll go my way from day to day,
    A5                   E5
and sing with the Gypsy Davey,
    A5                 E5
the song of the Gypsy Davey,
    A5                 E5
the song of the Gypsy Dave,
    A5                 E5
the song of the Gypsy Davey,
    A5                 E5
the song of the Gypsy Dave
